Our worst fears have come true. Br Loy Fernandes is no more. His dead body was recovered today at around 7.45 pm, near Marina Beach, Chennai.

According to the news we have, the poilce have gone to get the body. It is also identified as that of Loy.

The body of Loy was found near Marina Beach at around 7.45 pm. Marina beach is about 30 minutes’ drive from ‘Satya Nilayam Beach’ where Br Loy was drowned.

It could be recalled that Br Loy had gone to swim to the sea shore, behind Satya Nilayam (Thiruvanmiyur, Adyar). The beach is 15-20 minutes’ walking distance. It was reported that he was drowned at around 6.00 pm, and his body was not found.

The Jesuits at Satya Nilayam, where Loy has been studying philosophy for the last year and a half, had been searching. Finally their search came to a tragic end with finding the mortal remains of Br Loy.

It has been decided to have his funeral in Chennai, itself. The funeral ceremony will begin with a Holy Mass at Satya Nilayam, at 2.30 pm, followed by funeral rites at Loyola College, Chennai.

Rev Fr Vijay Prabhu (Provincial of the Karnataka Jesuits), his secretary and a few other Jesuits are on their way to Chennai to pay the last respect to the departed Brother.

May his sould rest in peace. May God give the bereaved family and the Jesuit family consolation and peace.

    There are no words to describe the pain endured when it comes to the loss of a loved one! Death, being a fact of life is hardest reality for anyone to accept! I just wish that it would happen later in Loy’s life! But somethings are not just in our hands!
    I miss Loy so much! He was a wonderful source of inspiration for me when I was in first Degree B.com! One could never help without being happy when he was around!
    He was a like a guiding light to everyone!
    I’m at loss of words…!
    Only one thing can comfort me at this moment…
    The belief that Loy is STILL alive.. yes.. He will return to us with his cheerful smile…
    .. That though he is not among us…
    He will remain in our hearts..
    Today, tommorrow and Always……..!
    In Loving Memory of LoY!

    Dear friends, My heart is filled with grief and sad to note that i miss Loy very much, we lived together for our college studies, fought, smiled, created records, hawaks and other things……..today he is no more. I pray that may his soul may rest in peace. He was not just a nice person but a very spiritual man, sensitive to the needs of the others and always ready to help them in their need irrespective of what ever programmes he had would give his time and energy for others. a selfless person, always available. May God give his parents strength and courage to face this situation and May God grant him eternal rest.
